Pine Grove Zoo Donation

$1,000 towards new Zebra!

CMCU recently donated $1,000 to the Pine Grove Zoo in support of their efforts to bring in a female zebra. According to Marnita Van Hoecke, the Zoo’s Director, the money will be used for the transportation costs associated with getting the animal to the zoo and also for renovations to the zebra’s exhibit. “We are excited to be able to help,” said Brad Eckhoff, Branch Manager at Little Fall Branch. “The Pine Grove Zoo is a true asset to this community and when we heard of the need, the decision to help was an easy one.” The zebra will be the second added to the zoo’s exhibits in the past three months. Pine Grove added its first zebra to the zoo in May of this year and has been working toward the acquisition of a female partner since that time. Van Hoecke plans to pick up the female zebra, which is being transported from Wisconsin, in the next few weeks.
